The java:comp context is a component specific environment indexed by the thread context class loader associated with the deployment. Web app1 cannot look into the java:comp context of web app2. A standalone tomcat server will also have to impose this behavior, but how this is done is container specific. Because of this there cannot be more than one web app subcontext under java:comp/env/security as the java:comp context is already web app specific. You need to create the java:comp/env/security on initialization of the web app to point to the actual remoted binding of the AuthenticationManager and RealmManager interfaces. If you have a patch that you think is generally useful post it to the patches section of the JBoss SourceForge project.

It seems like the AuthenticationManager and RealmManager interfaces don't have any particularly sensitive methods related to them, so my guess is the only reason that these aren't already available remotely is because they are different per web application? Correct me if I am wrong, but this solution seems like it would only support one login context per JNDI tree. If that's the case, one option would be to parameterize the instantiation of JBossSecurityMgrRealm with the name of a java:comp/env/security subcontext to use. This would solve this issue, but are working patches of this nature something that you would consider applying or is this a misguided hack? happy ny! -b ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
